My dinner companion and I chose to try this renowned Chinese restaurant since our first choice wasn't available. The appetizer was seasoned guava which was fresh and peppy. The champion dish arrived - behold the black truffle scrambled egg white with sliced shrimps and scallops!

My dinner companion and I chose to try this renowned Chinese restaurant since our first choice wasn't available. The appetizer was seasoned guava which was fresh and peppy. The champion dish arrived - behold the black truffle scrambled egg white with sliced shrimps and scallops! I would rate this a must-order, considering it satisfied the triad of criteria for a good Chinese dish. It was aesthetically pleasing with a milky white base dotted with black truffle, forming a stark contrast. The aroma of truffles was stunning and overpowered us even as we tried to scoop some up with a spoon. The taste...it was rich with black truffle complementing the smoothness of the egg white and accentuating the almost sweet taste of fresh seafood. This was followed by a deep fried breaded crab pincer (the minimum order was two). The coat was crisp and crunchy, the crab meat was fresh and it struck us that it was "more than worth the calories to try".   The ensuing two dishes were solid and satisfactory, but were too mundane and were completely outmatched by these two star dishes. The E Fu noodles were well fried and the portion was most generous, the mushrooms were neither overcooked nor slightly sour (this happens in less prestigious eateries because the wild flavour of mushrooms hasn't been strategically removed). The sea cucumber tofu vegetable stew was not too starchy or heavy and the sea cucumber was blubbery - though there was nothing "wow" about it; but then again one must not be too harsh on the less spectacular dishes. 

All in all, a great repast at fairly reasonable prices - I will certainly return and explore more jewels in future.
